The Benefits of an Alkaline Diet



FruitAdopting an alkaline diet and drinking alkaline water is the single most important step you'll ever take towards a successful herpes cure.

Give it a try for a couple of weeks. If you like what it does for you, give it another 2 weeks.

Pretty soon it will become second nature.

By alkalizing your body, you will:

  • Eliminate genital herpes outbreaks forever.
  • Never again suffer from cold sores or other herpes related maladies.
  • Detoxify your body.
  • Boost your energy levels.
  • Lose weight.
  • Feel and look years younger

And this is a mere handful of the benefits you will enjoy for the rest of your life!

However, like all major health projects, it will take some time for your alkaline diet to gather momentum, but once the snowball starts rolling, hold onto your hat…

The first barrier is detoxification. This can be somewhat unpleasant, but it only takes about a week

The good news is that when that has passed, you will start noticing positive changes within days.

Your energy levels will soar and the fog will lift from your mind.

Your mood will shift to the positive side and a feeling of well-being will steal over your body.

The pH Scale

pH scale




The pH (potential of Hydrogen) scale runs from 1 (most acidic) to 14 (most alkaline).

The pH scale is logarithmic. This means that each value is 10 times more acidic than the next higher value.







~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How Does an Alkaline Diet Work?

Pathogens (viruses, harmful bacteria and parasites) can only survive and thrive in an acidic environment.

This means that with the correct body pH at a little over 7, the herpes virus cannot attack the cellular system and cause an outbreak anywhere on your body.

In his book, ‘Never an Outbreak’, William Fharel states: An acidic body provides a biological terrain conducive for disease to proliferate… Maintaining proper alkaline levels is essential for overall good health as well as preventing all herpes outbreaks.

Doctor Theodore Baroody states in his book ‘Alkalize or Die’: The countless names of illnesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come from the basic root cause… too much acid tissue waste in the body.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What causes Acid Build-up?

The major causes of an acidic body are:

  • An acid generating diet.
  • Drinking acidic (low pH) water, cola and other beverages.
  • Stress.
  • Pollution.

Water is the most abundant compound in the human body, comprising 70% of the bodily mass. If your body pH is acidic, it's time to go on an alkaline diet and to start drinking alkaline water in order to raise your bodily pH.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How Dangerous is Acid?

If our blood pH level falls to just below 7, human cells stop functioning.

If this happened, we would lapse into a coma and die from blood poisoning.

This means that the most important task our liver and kidneys are faced with, is processing acid waste and maintaining the correct level of alkalinity in our blood.

In order to keep us alive, the bodily cleansing organs will do whatever it takes to maintain a blood pH balance between 7.35 and 7.45...

And that includes sacrificing other organs and bone mass if necessary.

Once our alkaline reserves are depleted, the liver and kidneys raid our bones, teeth and other organs in order to pirate neutralizing calcium to detoxify the blood.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why We Get Fat

In addition to that, if our overtaxed vital organs cannot get rid of the acid waste quickly, they store it in the form of fat for "later processing" (which never happens, by the way).

These toxins are kept as far away from our vital organs as possible, so the fatty waste finds its way to our bellies, buttocks, chest and thighs.

And this is why diet and exercise seldom work in the long run...

Open Casket Too much bodily acid not only promotes obesity, it also makes us vulnerable to pathogens, including the herpes virus and other nasty microorganisms.

There’s no doubt about it. Over acidity leads to poor health, facial wrinkles, premature aging and an early grave.

Fix it by going on an Alkaline Diet...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alkaline Diet – What we Eat

The ideal alkaline diet would consist of 80% alkaline food and 20% acidic food.

This would not present a problem if we were still hunter-gatherers living on fruits, herbs, nuts and berries.

Burger Unfortunately, considering our fast paced civilized way of life and the availability of processed and junk food, achieving the ideal balance is no easy matter...

Unless we happen to be vegans or vegetarians of course.

Apart from the fact that this could lead to vitamin B12 deficiency without the use of supplements and additives, going vegetarian or vegan is a solution well worth considering.

However, you can relax! With careful planning you don't have to go to extremes.

Maintaining a 60/30 ratio is fine... and it's easily achievable. What's more, you’ll still be able to enjoy the foods you love.

Going on an alkaline diet may mean more time spent in shopping and preparing your meals, but by doing so you would be well on your way to a healthy lifestyle and a natural cure for herpes symptoms. Click here and check out this website (opens new window).

You will find a comprehensive chart listing foods rated according to their acidity or alkalinity. Print out the web page and keep it handy, it will be a helpful guide when planning your weekly menu.

Alkaline Diet – How To Detoxify Your Body

Now for the important part.

The correct alkaline diet is all very well... it will help to maintain the ideal bodily pH balance. However, if you're on a hectic schedule, maintaining a special diet can be a real hassle.

Not only that, it will do little towards getting rid of the unprocessed acid waste stored in the body fat around your buttocks, belly and thighs.

The ideal detox method is as follows:

  • You should drink 8 to 10 glasses of alkaline water with a pH of at least 8, daily during detox.
  • Eliminate cola. It has a pH of 2.5... That’s 50,000 times more acidic than neutral water, so you might just as well try drinking battery acid instead.
  • Dangerous Goods LabelSpeaking of cola’s. Never ever drink diet cola. It contains Aspartame (opens new window) – this is a deadly poison and vicious acidifier. If you use sweeteners, make sure they are aspartame free.
  • The same applies to beer and the much touted ‘Lite’ variety. You would need to drink 32 glasses of neutral water to counteract the acidity in a single glass of beer or cola. Double that if it contains aspartame.
  • WatermelonGo on a watermelon diet for a few days. They taste great and will enhance the overall effectiveness of your alkaline diet.

Be prepared. You will run to the bathroom to relieve your bladder every three hours or so, and you might feel a little queasy, itchy and headachy.

Check your morning urine with some litmus paper (obtainable from your pharmacy) until you have three or four clear days in a row. Once you’ve achieved a pH level above the 7 mark, you’re done.

As a healthy maintenance measure, consider adopting a one-day watermelon diet on a monthly basis.

Maintain a sensible diet and keep drinking 6 to 8 glasses of alkaline water Bathroom scaleevery day; you’ll soon notice the absence of outbreaks.

As an added bonus, your tape measure and bathroom scale will become your friend.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alkaline Water

Alkaline WaterCheck the pH of your tap water. If it’s well above 7, get an activated charcoal filter and bottle the water for daily use.

Better still; go on a hunt for a suitable brand of bottled water. The pH factor will be printed on the back. Stick to a brand that has a pH of 8 or higher.

In order to keep the manufacturer honest, use a swimming pool pH kit or litmus paper to test the water.

As a last resort, lay in a supply of Alkaline pH Booster Drops (opens new window) and treat every glass of water that passes your lips. If you alkalize tap water, run it through a charcoal filter first.

The ideal answer?

Make one of the most important investments of your life and get a good Alkalizing Water Purifier.

The Rolls Royce of water ionizers is the Kangen Miracle Water System, unfortunately, it also caries a Rolls Royce price tag.

Jupiter Science Melody JP 104 water ionizer
I can whole heartily recommend the Jupiter Science Melody JP 104 system (opens new window). – I’ve had one for three years and it’s made a huge difference to my quality of life.

Although it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the Kangen system, it does the job. What’s more, it’s guaranteed for life.

A Jupiter "Melody" will run about $1500 and the less sophisticated "Neptune" model goes for under $1000.

If you think that’s a little steep, ask yourself this: “How much is a natural cure for herpes worth?"

Believe me when I say this: A good water ionizer is an essential appliance that will change your life.

What did you pay for your refrigerator, that flat screen TV or your car?

Download the free e-book, “Change Your Water - Change your life”. (opens new window) from Kangen (you'll find the link at the lower right-hand corner of the page).

Read it carefully because it goes into a lot more detail than we’ve been able to squeeze onto this page.

... And then buy a water ionizer!
